Bud, and his best friend "get it". ...... well stated, Bud.
I can't tell you all how many responses I've not sent. Good thing. I guess
people are different, and that's OK. I hope those who do sell their
Spridgets will have the opportunity to buy another in the future. I'd like
to think you're the sorts who will NEED one. I didn't realize I did
until over 20 years had passed since my last one. With the efforts of some
of you, I am re-hooked, and loving it.
